To Regenerate the Kniuhrs.

II
Philadelphia Dispatch to the New York Times Dec f.
Ever since the adjournment Of the General As
sembly OF the Knights OF Labor, at Minneapolis,
secret movement has been on foot in this city to
regenerate the order. An organization has been
formed, and provisional committee, similar to
that formed in Chicago on october %, has been
appointed 10 take charge OF the propaganda Dur
ing the coming week this provisional committee
Will issue secret circular to the rank and die OF
the order. The circular states in substance that
the order, having drifted far from its old land.
marks, must now be brought back to the starting
point and regenerated by the efforts OF individual
members everywhere. The extravaganza OF the
general Officers and their alleged Usurpation OF
power Is severely criticised, and number OF rules
for the guidance OF the are
laid down. Most important among these is that
declaring that the Joining OF trade in districts
shall be strictly preserved, and that the power OF
the general Officers shall be closely restricted. No
the prostitution OF the order for political purposes
shall not be allowed.

The Most Dangerous Man I'm England.

Paris Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune
Mr.. Hyndman, who is now the chief leader OF
the socialists in England, is as well-known here
as In London. He is very cautious man, and,
while he Is probably more than any one else d.
recttng the present agitation he is careful to keep
himself out OF the clutches OF the law. You Will
probably never hear OF him being locked I'D, no
matter how I'LL his followers may fare. Mr. Hynd-
man Is not an ignorant, rude man. He is rich and
highly educated, and is accomplished in social
grace5. He is now, / suppose, about forty-fiv
years old. His father left him fortune Of several
hundred thousand dollars, and by shrewd bust
ness ventures lie has Increased his wealth until
now he must be almost a millionaire. He was ed
ucated at Cambridge University, and was gradu-
In London and Paris, waere he was well In the
social swim. he went out TO Australia. There he
rose TO eminence as leader OF the free-schoOl
movement, and he also made good deal OF
money. Then he went on long journey among
the Islands OF the Pacific ocean, and finally reached
America. He was much pleased with the United
states, especially with the opportunities for max
ing money which he there enjoyed. In the pursuit
OF his business enterprises he has frequently since
then visited America with great pecunlary profit
TO himself.
Mr.. Hyndman is a vigorous and powerful man,
OF plain and even ugly features, but with an air
or authority and imperOus leadership He is flu
ent In speech and can be polished at WILL though

that he Is the most dangerous man in England TO-

splendid education and a wide and deep knowledge
OF affairs He Is full Of energy and ambition. He
is cynical fearless, and yet cunning to an extreme
degree and wary as fox. Like Marc Antony, he
will tnf1ame the passions Of mob until they

Moro About Mrs. Langtry's Divorce.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There Is very excellent authority for the report
that Mrs Langtry's divorce is only question of a
very short time. San Francisco is rtvalinR New
port as a divorce colony for New York malcon-
tents. In the first place 1t Is very easy to obtain
and In the second the law there about recording
1t is such that one can be free for months before
the public need necessarily be taken into ones
confidence. Mrs Langtry resided there the re-
quired length OF time and declared herelf a citi.
zen, and before q great while she will be free OF
the husband who seenRs TO have remained DER.
sistently obscure despite the notortety OF
his wife. 1t is curious fact that no one
knows much about Mr.: Langtry, who or what he
is, or how he regards the present situation. The
same authority that vOuches for the fact of
Mrs. Langtrys speedy deliverance from the matri-
monial yoke, adds that she will Immediately re-
sumo 1t under another name. 1t does not require
any very tremendous amount OF acumen to guess
what the name engraved on that new yoke will
be- The only reason Mrs. Langtry has deferred a
divorce for so long is that her husbands surname
was too pretty and agreed so well with her own.

were that she hesitated to relinQuish the only

AN INVESTIGATION PROMISED OF THE STORY OF THE
ALLEGED KRASURE.
The alleged mysteriously discovered erasure on
the back OF the late Wilbur F. Storeys will of 1879
still continues to be sensational topic OF discus
sion In Chicago and is likely to lead to an invest-
cation. special from that city to the Pniladel-
phta Press says: The friends OF Mrs. storey on
the warpath and declare their intention OF max
ing 1t warm for a good many people with whom
they have hitherto been tempor1zing. Jos. r. Dun
lap the wealthy retired journalist OF this city who
was city editor of the Times IN Storeys lifetime
and is now one OF the leading sympa-
thizers with the widow, said Saturday night:
II mean to say deliberately that II the
words this viii revoked by another will
have been found on the back OF the 1879 WILL with
indications OF partial erasure then they were put
there after the Will was In the lawyers hands and
the tampering with the document has been done
during that time. The whole matter is in keeping
with the former methods OF Mrs. Storey opponent.
The spectacle is presented OF a company or men
adopting all the shrewd tactics known TO criminal
lawyers in endeavortng to defraud a widow OF
what rghtfuliy belongs to her. When the inside

years is written and presented to the public, there
are certain legal gentlemen who are likely TO re.

as well as the contempt and condemnation OF the

dishonesty on the part OF certain parties that the
Chicago Bar Association should Immediately take
cognizance Of" Mr.. Dunlap more than limited that
the first parties to the alleged erasure are known.

BOARD OF VISITORS OF THE VIRGINIA NORMAL IN
sT1TUTE INVESTIGATING CHARGES PREFERRBD
AGAINST HIN.
special to the Baltimore Sun from Petersburg
states that the board OF visitors Of the Virginia
Normal and Collegiate institute, of which the Hon.
John Mercer Langston is president, was in session
at the Institute from early In the forenoon yester
day until O'Clock last night The object of the
meeting OF the board is twofold-flrst to investi-
gate the discipline OF the college, which, 1t is
claimed, is not altogether what IL should ne, and
also to investigate the charges that have been pre-
ferred against President LangstOn by the entire
faculty Of the institute. These charges were to
the effect that President LangstOn came near in
citing riot at the college when some OF the faculty
undertook to correct some OF the students for in
attention OF the State board OF education. 1t Is
pretty generally known that an effort is being
made TO defeat Langston's reelection next month,
at which time his term or office Will expire A ma
tOr1ty OF the students are said to be In favor OF
LangStOn'S reelection, while the faculty are Op-
posed TO him. few days ago number of stu
dents went over to Richmond and called on Gov
Lee in the interest OF Mr.. LangstOn's reelection
Yesterday this action OF the students was brought
an exciting and strong debate, and for a while
there was considerable CONFUSION and disorder.
The action OF the board will be watched with much
interest throughout the State.
WHAT PROF. LANGsroN's FRIENDS SAY.
Mr.. o. S. b. Wall, Prof Langstons brother.in-
law, when shown the publication this morning
said that he had learned Of the pending difficulty
some few days ago through the newspapers and
had heard nothing from Mr.. Langston on the SUBJ
Ject. He remarked: "Prof. Langston Is a compe-
tent and capable educator, but / fear that he has
been somewhat 1ndiScreet In mixing politics with
education, at least 10 some extent, and has thus
aided some who are jealous OF him and want some
other one TO have his position. He has probably
Incurred the diSpleasure Of Malone and his friends
by expressing the hope that in the next campaign
Gov. Lee will be given The second place on the
democratic ticket"
MRS LANGSTON HAS FAITH IN HER HUSBAND.
Mrs Langston, who is in the city, said yesterday
that she had no fears but her husband would be
indicated, for the charges against him were the
outgrowth OF Jealousy and made in the interest OF
parties who want the place.
